The Cover Picture — Miss Lam'an al-Haydari

Miss Lam'an al-Haydari

★ An Iraqi young woman.

★ Fair of complexion, green of eye.

★ Inclines toward classical reading, and toward music.

★ An active member of the Iraqi Red Crescent.

★ Lived a year in England, and admires the Englishwoman in her private and public life.

★ Comes often to summer in Lebanon, and was once elected beauty queen at Bhamdoun.

★ At home in Baghdad's social life; she loves dancing — the waltz and the tango — and has no liking for the modern American dancing.

★ She wishes the Arab woman equality of rights, but wants her before all else to be mistress of a home, not to jostle with man in Parliament.
